Now on to some basic advice on reloading, the Why’s of reloading.

So you are tired of trying to find ammo for your rifle pistol or what ever. Tired of paying inflated prices for ammo?? Well read this and understand it well. YOU WILL NOT SAVE MONEY RELOADING!!! Yep thats right you will not save money reloading!!! once you factor in the cost of equipment, even the cheep stuff, super basic kits, you will still be paying at least what the cheep ammo costs per box or more. There are only two reasons to get into reloading,

To build the best ammo for your pistols and rifles

To build ammo for rifles and pistols you can not buy at all or easily

Thats it. there are no other root reasons to reload. Now that said I will make a clarification on the money aspect of reloading, In most cases you will not save money compared to the cheep ammo, But you can reload high quality high precision ammo for the cost of the cheep stuff. So the first time you buy match or premium ammo and suffer from sticker shock you’ll understand why people reload.
